    There is absolutely nothing ordinary about a 6'7" man with that kind of footwork and speed. He has an amazing jab and one of the best straight rights the sport has ever seen in the heavyweight division. I'm not taking anything away from Frazier and I'm not even saying Frazier wouldn't have a chance. Resume wise, yes, Frazier Trumps him. But the size difference is ****ing huge, and Frazier wasn't the most elusive or slickest of boxers. Look what Foreman did to him, and tell me he won't be hurt by Wlads right hand. Wlad is bigger and stronger than George and George smacked Frazier around like a child.

    There is no question who I would favor, and I really don't think it would take long either.

    Sure, but those average fighters are big ones...ask Chris Byrd why he told his interview that wlad was just to big to him.

    Purrity was also a big, durable journeymen. Shavers lost to more than a few journeymen, his stamina did him in. Stallings beat him as well.

    Bonavena would of spanked Purrity.

    Replied like a Wlad hating comedian (lunatic is more accurate). :yep

    FW, Sanders, Brewster, hell even Purrity are not "average" fighters. Except for Foreman, Joe hardly ever faced men the size and punching power of the 3 that bested Wlad. He avenged the Brew loss, and I'm sure a prime Wlad beats a prime Sanders 3 out of 4 and a prime Purrity almost every time. :good

    Sanders, Brewster, and especially Purrity (!) are not remotely close to Foreman's capabilities. They are only comparable in the loosest sense of the term--they are about the same size. Then again, part of that comes down to extra blubber.

    There's not all that much difference in power between a 207 pound man and a 237 pound one, as efficiency decreases with extra size. At least, this is the case when you look at the Olympic lifting tallies.

    In the 60's, American heavyweights dominated in the amateurs as well as the professionals, despite the amateur game also being worldwide.

    And I have watched much more in the past 40 years - which is more to the point of this discussion :tong

    It is, and the heavy surge from east Euro women has made it much more deep. Kournakova - who was a top player for a while - did more to popularize womens tennis 8+ years ago than anybody. For uh, reasons beyond her tennis ability :hey

    I'd be willing to go a few rounds with Maria too

    She's 6'1", younger and in much better arobic shape. I'd might lose a UD but am willing to give it a go :lol: I expect - and hope for - many clinches :D

    It isn't to you because you dislike the current champs. The US is not almost the entire world :roll:

    At this moment where does Wlad place?

    I have him between

    the 6'5" 248lbs Jess Willard (an undisputed world champ with a bigger win)
    and
    the 6'6" 255lbs Primo Carnera (undisputed world champ with 72 KO's)

    If he unifies he might edge these guys...

    :rasta

    If he unifies is mostly beyond his control in this era, and you know it.

    Look

    , as Yoda might say about your post, "Stupid it is, that post."

    Wlad would soundly beat the relatively clumsy Williard and Carnera. :tong Even you know that. :-(
